Thy Strong Word From Kfuo Radio

There are moments you wish you could forget: A word spoken in anger or selfishness that caused another to hurt.   The feeling that follows is a unique kind of grief. It's a sense of mourning over what you have caused. We know what it is to wound a friend or a family member. But can we comprehend wounding God Himself? The prophet Zechariah speaks of a day when the people of Jerusalem will look upon the one they have pierced. They will mourn for him as one mourns for an only son.  Zechariah announces that on that day, a fountain will be opened, a fountain to cleanse from sin and impurity.  The Rev. Benjamin Meyer, pastor of Hope Lutheran Church in Condit, OH, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Zechariah 12 and 13.  To learn more about Hope Lutheran, visit hopelutheransunbury.org.
